Common Types of Orthopedic Surgery Performed

We understand that many pet owners are skeptical or anxious about the idea of their pet having surgery. However, there are situations in which orthopedic surgery may be the best or the only option for treating certain injuries or medical conditions. Fortunately, using our state-of-the-art technology, our skilled and experienced veterinary staff is able to provide the precise care your pet needs to find relief from pain and symptoms. Some examples of the more common types of orthopedic surgery we're able to provide in our Livonia animal hospital include:

Reconstructive knee surgery

Hip replacement surgery

Spinal fusion surgery

If your pet needs orthopedic surgery, we'll always begin with a comprehensive evaluation at our Livonia animal hospital. This will allow our veterinary team to ensure that the procedure recommended is safe to perform on your pet. At this time, blood work may need to be done in order to ensure anesthesia is properly and safely administered on the day of your pet's procedure. We'll always make sure you're well informed of what to expect throughout the process, and rest assured that our veterinary staff is happy to answer any questions or address any concerns you may have along the way.

Does Your Pet Need Orthopedic Surgery?

There are many reasons as to why a pet may need orthopedic surgery. In some cases, surgery may be required to treat an acute injury, such as a broken bone or a bone fracture that occurs as a result of sudden trauma. However, there are also chronic and even breed-specific medical problems that can lead to the need for surgery. For example, some breeds of dog are especially prone to a condition known as degenerative disc disease, which can be extremely painful if not treated with surgery. Furthermore, some pets become more prone to arthritis and osteoarthritis as they age. Depending on the severity of your pet's arthritis and pain, surgery may be a viable option for relieving pain and helping your pet lead a healthier and happier life.

If your pet is showing any symptoms of orthopedic problems, such as limping or having difficulty getting around, a visit to our animal hospital in Livonia is in order.
